@Maharaj skandgupta why so surprised?

Any news on ak 203

MKU Mukut

PASGT

Now see the difference, he’s wearing a helmet a size too big hence it looks like the larger PASGT. PASGT has the distinctive front end to ID, which isn’t present in the IA pic.

I think Hk416 standard weapon for ParaSf with all these accessories on it The recoil is just too much for a 5.56 rifle, if they were so good the US spec ops guys wouldnt be replacing them with ar15s from geissele, noveske etc.

@AVINASH4061 sir posted a close up of the Bayonet, it’s made in South Korea.

Also note, when the Bayonet is attached, the barrel is no longer free floating as it is mounted on the barrel.

Ah nope, the bayonet is affixed on that M-Lok bayonet mount on side of the handguard, so it's still free-floating after affixing it,

Don't we wish they all came like that!

Can't we even make a bayonet in India?

Import lobby scream intensifies…

I believe it's just part of the package, along with cleaning kits etc,
perhaps SIG got it made in (south, of course) Korea at some contractor hence it has got that marking ?

as for our ability to make bayonets here...why even thinking like that bhai we've been making bayonets for all of our service weapons that we made here,
SMLE//Ishapore 2A-2A1,
1A SLR,
INSAS,
various AKs made here,
even those 9mm Sterling "carbines" had bayonets available...

Any hope for further Sig-716 purchase after this Russian hafta deal of AK-203?

Wouldn't you wish for AR type rifles to be developed by Indian companies? After all, their patents are expired and countries around the world are using that design to develop their own rifles.

Hope SSS can get the hint and pick it up. They can capture the domestic police forces and paramilitary market while using them as a test case for Army in the future, since OFB-derivatives will take time to regroup after the recent restructuring.

Yes sig 716 will keep coming in batches for active frontline troops.
